Analogically the same truth ob tains in the advancement of human affairs.— It is the current of events that gives vitality to commonweal,hs. + Sir Marcy on the Stunner Assault. (From the New-York Examiner.) Governor MARCY was always true to his convictions on the Slavery question. " Sla very is jours," said he to a Southern gentle man, who was endeavoring to comineud the institution to his favor, " and you have the po litical right to retain it as long as you please, and to estimate it as a blessing ; but we of the North want none of it ; to us it would be an unmitigated curse." Two weeks before he died, Governor MAR CY had atteuded the Second Baptist Church in Rochester, and had listened to the preach iii" of Rev. GEORGE DANA BOARDMAN. He was greatly interested in the sermon, and was strikingly impressed by the preaeher himself. From the sermon and the preacher our con versation turned to the occasion of Mr. BOARD MAS'S leaving South Carolina, and to the as sault of Mr. BROOKS upon Mr. SUMNER. " You can tell me nothing," said he, "of the sensi tiveness of Southern gentlemen on that sub ject. But," he added, "I do not hesitate to give them my views in them, who justified the assault, lie paused—stopped—(we were walk ing in the street) —and turning full towards me, lie said, with emphasis, " I told him that if another man was a blackguard, it gave me no right to be a bully. You say that Mr. SUMNER'S speech was a studied, elaborate in sult. I have not read it. I don't know about that. But I tell you that all the scenes iu Kansas will not so much disgrace us among the Governments and people of Europe as this assault iu the Senate Chamber of the United States. It will be accounted, aud justly, an invasion of the freedom of debate. And I tell you further, that I would be glad to be let off with the loss of two hundred thousand votes in the next election, in consequence of this af fair. And," continued the Governor, " I was right. The State Department brought me the journals of all Europe. We icerc more dis graced by this transaction than by the trou bles in Kansas, and, as for the election, noth ing saved us but the opposing candidate.— Once 1 thought the election lost, as it was ; and if Judge MCLEAN had been the candidate, it would have been lost irreparably." The same writer says that "The Governor did not regard the Kansas troubles as settled. Governor WALKER had then jnst reached Kansas, and published his promises of the sacreduess of the doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty. He expressed himself i i the strongest terras its without confidence in Governor W ALK£H'S pacification. The event has justified hisappreheusions, and the grounds on which they rested." Constitutional Amendments. " The proposed Amendments to the C >ii-tittu '"on "of Pennsylvania, ure again published iu the newspapers of the several counties. They ure word for word the same that were publish ed last year ; and having been agreed to by two successive Legislatures, the next step to ward their adoption will be their submission to a vote of the people at the October election. The amendments are four in number, and the vote will be taken for or against each one separately. They are all of sufficient impor tance to demand the serious attention of every citizen, and we think their expediency and propriety are so apparent, that the people, without distinction of party, will be ready to accept them. The First Amendment relates to the public debt, and proposes the following salutary pro vidons : I. That the State debt shall never exceed $150,000, except iu case of war, invasion, or insurrection, or for the purpose of redeemiug the present debt. 11. A sinking Fund shall be provided suffi cient to pay the interest on the existing State debt, ami to reduce the principal $250,1)00 a [ year. 111. The credit of the Commonwealth shall not in any manner lie pledged or loaned, or tne Commonwealth become a stockholder in any corporation. R. The Commonwealth shall not assume the debt of any county, city, borough OF town *hip, or any corporation, unless the same was contracted by the State in time of war. C No county, city, or other municipal cor poration, shall become a stockholder in, or ' •an its credit to any company or corporation whatever. fhe Second Amendment provides against the needless division of counties by prohibiting the • rection of any new county containing less than 400 square miles, and"requring the ex pressed assent of the voters of the county, to authorize any division of such county which shall cut off one-tenth of its population. The Third Amendment relates principally ,0 Philadelphia, and proposes to amend the jjrst Article of the Constitution, by striking from its several sections the words which re prize the separate municipal existence of t ie old city of Philadelphia. Ihis amendment also proposes some changes j't the mode of apportioning of which is one that • will allow the city of Philadelphia, (and other city with taxable population stiffi- I'cnt for two Representatives) to be divided uto single Representative Districts. The Fourth Amendment proposes a new see on to the Constitution, in which the power the Legislature to alter, revoke or repeal ln ? charter of incorporation, (which of course - by virtue of sovereignty, although P""c affect to dispute it) is expressly declur- Itis is n mere outline of the proposed out sufiicient, wc trust to show 1| eir .importance, a "d to induce our readers to y n ' De them carefully, so that they may pre j-' p, l to vote upon them with an intelligent .

Special Despatch to the X. Y. Tribune. WASHINGTON, Friday, Sept. 4, 1357 The report that Judge Curtis of the Su preme Court has resigued is correct. His let ter of resignation has been received here. It is thought that Secretary Toucey will be of fered the vacant Judgeship, and that Nathan Clifford of Maine will succeed to the Navy, or that Clifford himself will be appointed Judge. A sou of the Hon. Thos. Ewing, of Ohio, who has recently arrived here from Kansas' thinks that the Free State men men will carry the Legislature and the Delegate to Congress in October, if Gov. Walker will only keep the Missouri Border Ruffians from the polls aud secure honest returns. Fair play on election day aud in canvassing the votes is, he thinks, all that is wauted to insure victory. But under the bogus laws and the rulings of the Pro-Slavery Judges, and with so many United States Troops in the territory, such conclusions are not to be hastily coucurred in. Mr. Ewing was probably led to them in a great measure by the obviously immense nu merical superiority of the Free-State party, which will assuredly make itself felt sooner or latter. Mr. Tate of Virginia, the candidate of Gov. Wise, succeeds sixth Auditor Phillips on Mou day. The appointment of the editor of The Richmond Enquirer to a foreigu mission is alone required now, to secure the fidelity of Virginia to the Union until the next Presiden tial election. There is a financial pressure here, in hum ble imitation of and sympathy with the New York money market. The banks refuse to discount. FAI.I. OK THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT HAMIL ! TON, CANADA. —The Suspension Bridge over the Desjardines Canal, on Burlington Heights, was broken down about half past live o'clock, yesterday afternoon, by a severe hurricane which passed over this vicinity. Fortunately there was no one on the bridge at the time, or they would have been thrown into the ynwu- I iug abyss beneath. A person has been em ployed by the Great Western Railroad Com ! pany since the late catastrophe at the Raii , road Bridge over the Desjardines Canal to look after the Suspension Bridge, and to prevent i more than one vehicle passing at a time.— And this person, we are informed, bad just made his escape from the bridge ut the time it fell. Other parties had passed over it im mediately before the accident occurred. The ; bridge was turned completely over, and part ;of the towers broke, and along with it a por ! tion of the bridge fell into the canal. The re maining portions are still hanging by the tow ers. There was a dog on the bridge at the time, which was instantaneously killed. The bridge has been repeatedly condemned by competent | engineers, and by Grand Juries year after year, i ever since it lias been built ; and proceedings i were to be taken nt the next Wentworth As ' sizes against the Great Western Railway and , the Desjardines Canal Companies. We have repeatedly called the attention of parties in j terested to the rickety condition of the bridge, i but the only answer we have received has been i that we must await the slow progress of the I law. Fortunately there has been no lives lost, but as the bridge was a great public thorough fare between this city and Watertown, Miltou and Wellington Square, and it is likely that it will be some time before another bridge is i constructed, the business of Hamilton is like ly to suffer.— Hamilton (C. W.) Banner. RESIGNATION OK J EDGE CURTIS. —The Bos ton Courier confirms the rumor that Judge Curtis has resigned hi* scat 0:1 the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, lie has been led to this step for reasons grow ing out of his private affairs. Judge Curtis received his appointment from President Fill more in 1801, at the special instance, it was said of Daniel Webster, who had the highest opinion of his abilities. His circuit embraced the States of Maine, Newhamshire, Massachu setts and Rhode Island, and his successor will doubtless be Selected by President Buchanan from the members of the bar in one of those States. Mr. Toucey, the Secretary of the Navy, is already named to siieeed him. It will be remembered that Judge Curtis was one of the Judges who dissented from the deci sion of the Supreme Court in the famous I)red Scott case. The Washington States says the resigna tion of Judge Curtis has beCu received by the President. fluf- According to the recent census of Massachusetts there were, in 1855, nineteen pcrsous in the State who were upwards of one hundred years old.
